Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Level the Range

Install the oven shelves in the oven and
position the range where it will be installed.

Check for levelness by placing a spirit level
or a cup, partially filled with water, on one
of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take
two readings—with the level placed diagonally
first in one direction and then the other.

Remove the lower oven drawer. See the Care
and cleaning of the range
section. The front
leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom
and the rear legs can be adjusted from the top
or the bottom.

Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to
adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

After the range is level, slide the range away
from the wall so that the Anti-Tip device can
be installed.

Quality of Flames

The combustion quality of burner flames needs
to be determined visually.

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones
is normal.

Check Ignition of Surface Burners

Operation of all cooktop burners should be checked
after the range and gas supply lines have been
carefully checked for leaks.

Electric Ignition

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously
push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear
a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the
spark module. Once the air has been purged from
the supply lines, burners should light within
4 seconds. After burner lights, rotate knob out
of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession
until all burners have been checked.
